About The Detroit Partnership

The Detroit Partnership (DP) is a student-run service learning organization at the University of Michigan. We are dedicated to uniting Ann Arbor and Detroit by working with schools and community organizations in two dynamic communities of Detroit: Brightmoor in Northwest Detroit, and Southwest Detroit. Through these partnerships we coordinate both one-time and weekly service learning opportunities for our member base of over 1000 University students. Our programs are extremely varied. As a DP member you are given the opportunity to learn about the City of Detroit, and build relationships with community members through tutoring and mentoring students, working on abandoned lots, tree planting, painting murals, voter registration drives, and much more! The DP is especially well known for our two major events. In the fall we organize a Food and Clothing Drive. Our culminating event of the year, DP Day, is held each spring. This event is a celebration of our relationships with partner organizations in the City of Detroit. This huge day of service learning involves over 1000 UM students and community members. The DP is also committed to raising awareness on social issues pertaining to Detroit throughout campus. Our education team sponsors lectures, film viewings, discussions and more throughout the semester. Your time commitment to The Detroit Partnership as a member is completely up to you. Our weekly programs are available for those who would like to make a stronger commitment to service learning. We offer weekly programs Monday-Saturday, so you are sure to find something to fit your schedule. Although our one time programs and education events on campus are great for everyone, they are especially beneficial for individuals whom are unable to make a weekly commitment, yet are still interested in service learning and Detroit.

Everyone is invited: U of M Students, Non-U of M Students, Faculty, Staff, and Community Members! Join the Movement. Become a member of The Detroit Partnership!
